IMPROVEMENT IN SHIPS .GALLEY-S FOR THE DISTILLATION 0F SALT-WATER.

Snecification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1,156, dated May 20, 1839.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ENOCH Horcnrnson, of Baltimore city and State of Maryland, have invented a new and useful Improvement on Ships Galleys for Distilling Fresh \Vater from Salt-Water; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the apparatus, which I denominate the fresh water extractor.

The nature of my invention consists in placing a circular steam-generator made of coppen or iron inside of the galley, allowing between the generator and outside of the galleyone-thirtiethpart 0f the diameter of the galley,

which generator is to be filledwith seawater cular form and put together in any suitable manner. a a is the body of the galley; b b b b, boilers-for cooking;-c, funnel; d, furnacedoor; 6, ash-pit door; f, oven-door; ,7, steampipe leading from steam-generator to the condensing-worm; h, condensing-tub.

In Fig. 2,z' t" is the galley with the top plate, is, taken 0d" and the cooking and condensing apparatus omitteda Us the oven.

Fig. 3 reprcsentsthe steam-generator taken out of the galley. m is the plate which lies on the top n n of' the generator, the object of which is tocause the fire topass round be tween the sides of the generator and. the galley and over the top of the generator and between the plat-es m and 7;". The space between the generator and galley and between.the lates is to be about one-thirtieth of the diameter of the galley. 0 isthe steam-pipe leading to the condenser. 2 is the pipe to supply the generator with water. q shows an arch in. the generator which fits over the oven neariits mouth. The dotted lines represent the' ga-lley and the relative position of the generator and galley.

Fig. lin Drawing No. 2 represents a galley of the usual form constructed with the double sides. a a; are doors or covers to close the mouth of the 'furnace. b b are two cookingboilers. 0 represents the oven projected into the furnace. In this galley the sides d d d and d d d and the back (1 d from the outside to the dotted lines constitute the generator-that is, the dotted lines represent the inner plates of the generator, which and Y the outer plates may be from four to seven inches apart. are inlets for the sea-water. f f f aresteampipes which lead to the condenser. g is the funnel,-passing out through the back of the generator from the furnace. h h represent from side to side. These fines are supplied with salt-water by means of the branch side pipe, 1'. The \vateris introduced atj, and the denser.

form of the generator, and as a. substitute for the generator represented by the letters cl (2 d and d (Z (Z and (l d.

also the funnel and another form of the gen-' either of the generators already described. to aa a is the ge11erator,which may be round, square, or elliptical, formed to admit the funnel b bto pass up through it, the funnel constituting the inner plate or plates of the generator. ZZin Fig. 1, Drawing No. 2, represents the manner in which fines may consti' tute the hearth or grating of the furnace.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is not the combination of a generator and other distilling ap-- poses, as this is not new. All that I claim is' 1. The generator of the peculiar form herein specified, (represented by Figs. 1, 2', and 3 in Drawing No; 1,) in combination with a ships galley.

- 2. The constructing of a generator for distilling purposes by making the sides of the galley double,'so as to form a vessel for comherein specified. v
